The outbreak in London yesterday and
other similar occurrences there indicate that
business in Great Britain is not in very en-
couraging condition, though undoubtedly
much of the disturbance in London is caused
by men who do not wish to work.
Mr.. Citizens figures show that British in
dustry has not met with such reward as it
did. From the healthy growth of business
that marked the two decades ending with
1866 and 1875 respectively there was a de-
cided falling off in the decade closing two
years ago. The statistics show this in va
riety of ways. The income tax, for example,
a tolerably fair gauge of general prosperity,
increased % per cent. in the first decade
mentioned, a per cent. in the second and
only 10 per cent. in the last. In the case,
also, of such staples as coal and iron a SINH
lar irregularity is found. The latter product
was larger in volume by half in 1865 than
it was in 1866, ten years later it was larger
by a third more, but in 1885 it showed an
increase of less than sixth as compared
with 1875. In the same three periods coal
advanced 53 per cent, 35 per cent. and 20
per cent. respectively. If, again, we look at
Luo I6Celpl5 lTOH IdllEOdd at GuO ClodE-
ances of shipping and foreign trade, or at the
consumption of common necessities like sugar,
we shall find in each case that while the
amounts are large the rate of increase during
the last decade has immensely declined.
But all of Mr.. Citizens figures are not
gloomy. They show that pauperism is de-
creasing. In the four years succeeding 1856
the ratio of paupers to the entire population
was A. per cent, in the four years following
1870 it was AZ per cent, while in the four
years ending with 1884 it fell as low 8 per
cent. In some portions of the kingdom the
diminution was even more marked, but that
is the general average for the country at
large. The deposits in savings banks also
afford evidence on the more hopeful side.
From 1855 to 1865 these deposits increased
about third and from 1875 to 1885 about
two -fifths. During the middle decade, from
1866 to 1875, they increased fully half.
Many Englishmen who are alarmed by the
falling off in Great Britains prosperity think
that protection is the true remedy. They
point to what it has done for this country
and find strong argument therein.

Some of the signs of the times in London
are not very pleasant. Lord Salisbury with
in a few weeks has sold over So, 900, 900
worth of real estate in the heart of London,
thus parting with property that has remain
ed in the Cecil family for generations. A
''house rent league" with plan of cam
paign upon the land league principle, has re-
Gently been organized in London with the
avowed object of reducing rents.
Evidence of the increasing in terest in tenn
perance is furnished by the action of the
Missouri Grand lodge of Masons in sustain
ing the order of the grand master, issued
some months ago, requiring the lodges un-
der his jurisdiction to expel all members
employed in the sale of liquors. The order
was based upon a law of the Grand lodge
excluding liquor sellers from the order. One
st. Louis lodge having many rich liquor
dealers among its members refused to obey
the order, and its charter has been annulled
by the Grand lodge.
Nine. Boucicaut, the great Partisan shop
keeper, well merits the cross of Knight of
the Legion of Honor which has been bestow-
ed upon her. She has given about $1,000,-
600 to her employees as pension fund for the
sick and superannuated, besides splendid
library and reading room funds, and she al
lows them all shares in the profits of her
business In her native department she has
over 5000, 900 bridge across the Saoneito
give the people 8 more direct road to market,
and she has distributed more than 81 $780,
600 to relieve the sufferers from the phyl-
1oxera plague.
A recent invention which might have done
much good if it had made its appearance
sooner is that of car fire extinguisher, in
case of derailment or collision. It consists
of tank of water above the stove, with a
large pipe extending from it to the inside of
the stove, just above the fire; trap in the
bottom of the tank is connected by levers
with series of arms at the bottom Of the
car, one of these arms extending under each
corner of each platform, while another ex-
tends down toward the track; in case, there
fore, of collision, one of the arms under the
platform must be struck first, thus moving
the lever, opening the trap, and instantly
deluging the fire with water-or, in case OF
derailment, one of the arms hanging down
toward the track is struck and operates the
lever.

THE DUTY OF THE LEGISLATOR.

When the general assembly Of
Georgia convenes each member
thereof places his hand upon the
Holy Book and takes the following
OATH
81 viii support the constitution OF
this State and the United States, and
on questions and measures which
may come before me, | will so con
duct myself as will in my Judgment
be most conducive to the interests
and prosperity OF this State, so help
me God" Art. 3, section 5, para
graph ), Constitution of Georgia.
Again, in the constitution, par. 6,
sec. 2, art. l, appears this clause !:
The general assembly shall have
the power to provide for the punish
ment of fraud, and shall provide by
law for reaching property of the
debtor concealed from the creditor.
We submit the above two clauses
OF the constitution of the State to the
thoughtful consideration of the mem
bers Of the general assembly. How
many OF them can conscentiously
say they have kept their oath so far
as it applies to supporting so much
of the constitution as is embraced in
the last above quoted clause? On
the contrary, has not the general
tendency of every legislature since
the adoption of that constitution
been to legislate in favor Of the debt
or class and against the creditor ?
The laws are now so largely in favor
of the former that it is next to i'm
possible to collect debt by law, and
instances of fraud, concealment and
general rascality make the rule to
which there is no exception save the
conscience of an honest debtor. The
result is that credit is shaken, dis
trust is apparent on every side, and
no man dares to part with his possess
sions in these without the most ex
acting securities. We suggest that
the general assembly, now that the
Brady bill is defeated and the per-
sonal discussions are ended, will look
into their obligations in this matter.
Lei them note that the constitution
says shall (not may) provide by law
for reaching property of the debtor
concealed from tie creditor. Column

RESTITUTION.

AT one of his Mortified meetings
on Monday, Mr.. Moody, who was
preaching about Prayer" said !:
MAN may pray like a saint, but if
he has dollar in his pocket not ac-
quired honestly, his prayer is sham,
and he must make restitution if he
expects ever to have God hear his
prayer" Ihereupon merchant
from Dallas, Texas, rose in the au-
dience and told a story that empha-
sized this point. lie had, he said, got
dishonesty from men in his business
some 5000 and had built house
with the money. Then NJ, Moody
happened along and preached on this
subjecS OF restitution and the mer
chant was present. 81 heard you,
he said, pointing to Mr. Moody, and
| went straight home and told my
wife that Wa must sell the house and
restore the money. And we did.
We held an auction and our carpets,
our laces, our furniture ali left us,
and with the proceeds we made resti-
tuition. The man told how he and
his wife started again in life with
nothing, and how he had prospered.
His credit, his prosperity had never
been 50 good.

HOW RAILROADS HELP.

The Americas Recorder says Mr..
James borough, of Dooly county,
owns twelve lots Of land, only one Of
which is improved. Before the A.
p. & L. Railroad was extended these
lands would have brought fifty cents
an acre to the owner. In fact, there
was almost no sale for them at any
price. Since the building Of the
road, however, the lands have great
ly increased in value, the owner hay
ing already refused 5000 per lot for
them, or $1,000 for the twelve, an
increase Of over $4,000 in a few
weeks.

FOUND IN A BUSTLE,

which had cost several lawsuits and

$4,000 in bank notes OF small denom-

and died there and the other day

4 NEW WAY.

A farmer named Corner, Of Roane
county, West Virginia, has invented
new plan to catch squirrels which
has proven great success. He has
a large corpfeld which borders on
the woods, and which the squirrels
have almost devastated during the
past season. Observing that they
retreated to the woods along GER
tain line of fence he covered the tops
Of the rails of the fence with tar.
The squirrels succeeded in clearing
the fence, but when they struck the
woods the leaves and sticks stuck to
their feet so badly that they could
not climb the trees. The first cap
ture amounted to twenty-seyen, and
within week Corner had killed and
captured over 100 squirrels by his
unique device.
